This December, we’ve been working to make Christmas a little brighter for people within our local community. Our charity committee created a special Christmas tree initiative this year to support our charities of the year, Jimmy's Cambridge and Blue Smile. Each tag on the Christmas tree represented an item from Jimmy’s wishlist of urgently needed essentials, or represented a donation to Blue Smile to support a child with their mental health. We look forward to continuing to support Jimmy's Cambridge and Blue Smile in 2025 – stay tuned for more details. Learn more about each charity and how you can support their work using the links in the comments. #Cambridge #Christmas #Charity
